Help us reach expats

Expat ad conceptConcept artwork only. A variety of ads will run on international websites.

It's vital that ACT's positive ideas for real change reach New Zealanders living overseas, who will be the first to vote.

Donations on this page will be used to boost online ads targeted specifically at expat Kiwis in countries like Australia and the UK.

For reference, a donation of $200 will allow us to display an online ad 40,000 times. Will you pitch in to deliver Real Change on October the 14th?


Large Donations

If you are donating more than $1,000, please consider donating directly into our bank account. This allows more of your donation to go directly to ACT, rather than to our payment processor.

However, if donating via bank transfer, please be aware that the Electoral Act prohibits us from receiving anonymous donations of more than $1,500. Any excess must forfeited to the Crown. Therefore, if you are donating more than $1,500 and we do not already have your details on file, please supply us with your personal details by emailing [email protected]. Unless you meet the conditions below, your personal details will not be disclosed.

Disclosure Rules

From 1 January 2023, the Electoral Act will require us to disclose the identity of any entity (person, company, trust, etc.) that donates over $5,000. This threshold applies to both

  1. any one-off donation, and
  2. cumulative donations from one entity greater than $5,000 in any calendar year.

Should you donate more than $20,000 from 1 January of an election year and the day before election day we must disclose these donations within 10 working days of receipt.

Overseas Donations

If you are an overseas person (as that term is defined in section 207K of the Electoral Act) then the maximum donation that we can receive from you is $50. Overseas persons are those who are not resident in New Zealand, except New Zealand citizens and those enrolled to vote in New Zealand. If your donation is more than $50 and you are an overseas person then the amount of your donation that exceeds $50 must be returned to you. If we cannot return it to you, then the amount will be forfeited to the Crown.
